Top 3 Altcoins Among XRP To Buy In ‘Uptober’: Santiment
Amid the broader market correction, altcoins have faced an even deeper fall with Ethereum (ETH) and other top alts plummeting by 10-15% over the past week. However, the Santiment analysis shows that three altcoins – XRP, APT, and LINK – could make big moves ahead amid fundamental developments and institutional interest.
Three Altcoins to Watch For A Rally Ahead
The first altcoin that Santiment talks about is Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP. The social sentiment around XRP has shot up majorly amid key developments such as asset manager Bitwise filing for a spot XRP ETF this week. On the other hand, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decided to appeal the court decision on the XRP lawsuit in the Second Circuit court.
The news of the appeal has already sent the XRP price crashing down by 15% on Thursday, moving all the way to $0.52. However, amid the calls of the ‘Uptober’ rally, the Ripple native crypto could gain strong attention from traders taking it further beyond $0.60.
The second major cryptocurrency that Santiment mentions is Aptos. A day before, Aptos Labs made an aggressive move to expand in Japan’s Web 3 market with the acquisition of HashPalette. By incorporating the Palette blockchain, widely recognized for its broad adoption in Japan, Aptos seeks to connect traditional technology with the emerging Web3 space.
On the other hand, the on-chain U.S. Government Money Fund will be leveraging the Aptos blockchain. As per the latest CoinGape report, the APT price can rally all the way to $20 amid the soaring network activity.
The third altcoin that Santiment is bullish on is Chainlink (LINK). The oracle service provider recently collaborated with the SWFIT platform to establish interoperability with TradFi. Furthermore, Santiment reported that successful trials have demonstrated that Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) effectively connects multiple blockchain networks for financial institutions.
What About ‘Uptober’ Rally Sentiment for XPR and Others?
The month of October has started exactly what many anticipated with the massive ‘Uptober’ rally. According to analytics firm Santiment, mentions of “Uptober” have significantly declined, indicating a shift in trader sentiment toward a more bearish outlook for October as an automatic crypto rally. This growing pessimism, however, may create an opportunity for at least a short-term market bounce, Santiment noted.
However, Bitcoin needs to show strength to revive the broader market sentiment moving ahead. The BTC price bounced back partially after taking support at $60,500 yesterday. Bulls need to defend this level to prevent a further slide to $52,000.

Cardano price appears to be inching towards a key breakpoint as it continues to consolidate within a symmetrical triangle pattern visible on its price chart. According to cryptocurrency analyst Ali, this formation could help ADA in a major price movement.
Cardano price predicted to surge 27%
In a recent tweet, Ali suggested that Cardano might be in the early stages of breaking out from this consolidation pattern. The symmetrical triangle visible on the price chart shows converging trendlines that have contained ADA’s price movement since early April 2025.
The symmetrical triangle pattern forming on Cardano’s chart is a period of consolidation where buyers and sellers reach a temporary equilibrium. According to technical analysis principles, symmetrical triangles often serve as continuation patterns, with the breakout direction typically following the prior trend.

In Cardano’s case, the breakout yields the potential 27% price movement mentioned by Ali. The analyst has pointed out that Cardano might be in the early stages of breaking out from this pattern. The analysis by Ali comes as Cardano bulls secure the most important signal to drive a price rally.
Cardano is currently trading at $0.6424 with a 4.3% increase over the past 24 hours. Despite this short-term gain, ADA remains down nearly 10% over the past 30 days.
ADA sentiment remains neutral
Current market sentiment surrounding Cardano is mixed despite the potentially bullish technical setup. According to data from CoinCodex, the overall sentiment toward ADA is currently classified as “Neutral.” However, the Fear & Greed Index shows a reading of 39 and places it in the “Fear” category.
Looking ahead, CoinCodex projects that Cardano’s price could rise by 18.55% to reach $0.765833 by May 21, 2025. While this forecast falls short of the full 27% move suggested by the triangle pattern analysis, it aligns with the general direction and timeframe for a potential upside breakout.
The platform’s analysis of Cardano’s recent performance shows that ADA recorded 14 green days out of the last 30, which is a 47% positive day ratio. Price volatility over this period also stood 7.31%.
Despite the current “Fear” reading and mixed sentiment indicators, CoinCodex concludes that it’s now a good time to buy Cardano based on their technical indicators. However, the next move by ADA could very well be based on the overall market conditions too.

With Ripple’s XRP lawsuit settlement finally in place, the crypto community is abuzz with anticipation over a possible XRP ETF launch. Despite the growing frenzy over XRP exchange-traded funds, the world’s largest asset management company, BlackRock, remains silent, sparking significant attention.
Detailing BlackRock’s vision and possible reasons behind its silence, expert All Things XRP shared a series of X posts. Let’s explore the expert’s threads, reading through the key points that shed light on BlackRock’s strategic approach to crypto investments.
Why Is BlackRock Silent on XRP ETF?
In a series of X posts, expert All Things XRP shed light on BlackRock’s strategic moves that steer them away from an XRP ETF. According to the expert, BlackRock’s hesitation to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund is driven by many factors regulatory concerns, market dynamics, and strategic considerations.
BlackRock Focuses on Bitcoin and Ethereum
Notably, the asset manager’s focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs is one of the main reasons to shy away from XRP. BlackRock is currently riding the wave of success with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Reportedly, iShares Bitcoin Trust boasts over $30 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM). In addition, BlackRock’s ETH ETF has reached $1 billion in AUM in just two months. In light of this success, the platform is cautious about exploring other altcoins to mitigate potential risks.
Moreover, XRP may not meet BlackRock’s internal thresholds for demand, liquidity, and legal clarity. According to the company’s ETF executives, only Bitcoin and Ethereum currently meet these requirements.
Regulatory Concerns
As noted by the expert, regulatory concerns play a major role in BlackRock’s hesitation to back Ripple. Although both Ripple and the SEC dropped their appeals in the XRP lawsuit, the case is not officially over, with the label of “security” still lingering around. This uncertainty may deter the investment giant from applying for an XRP ETF.
Recently, All Things XRP shared insights on CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s crucial role in Ripple’s growth.
BlackRock’s Strategic Wait-and-See Approach
Interestingly, BlackRock is adopting a cautious approach, waiting for competitors like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton to launch their XRP ETFs. While these platforms will face the possible regulatory hurdles first, it will pave the way for BlackRock’s easy entry into the ETF space. This approach will also allow BlackRock to gauge institutional appetite for XRP products and assess the risk landscape.
Whoever takes the lead, an XRP ETF launch is poised for a significant price surge in the Ripple coin.
In addition, the asset manager’s fake XRP ETF filing in 2023 has further strengthened their cautious stance. Previously, the filing went viral and sparked ambiguity within the crypto market. The investment firm had to publicly deny involvement, potentially damaging their reputation. This incident might have made them cautious about pursuing an XRP ETF, at least for now, as they may want to avoid similar PR issues.
Will BlackRock Launch an XRP ETF?
Additional factors like lack of demand and XRP’s relatively small market share have also contributed to the asset manager’s decision. However, BlackRock is expected to push for an XRP ETF in the future after tackling all the possible hurdles.
BlackRock is known for launching products at the right moment, when the odds are in their favor. The strategic move is expected when XRP meets complete regulatory clarity and market stability. As per All Things XRP, BlackRock is envisioning dominating the market. The expert cited, “But if and when they do, it’ll be to dominate the space — not just participate.”

While investors are scanning the horizon for a short-term Solana (SOL) rally, cryptocurrency expert CryptoCurb is predicting an ultra-bullish price movement. CryptoCurb argues that a Solana price of $2,000 is “absolutely realistic” given the current fundamentals and on-chain indicators.
Solana Price To $2,000 Is A Realistic Projection
Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst CryptoCurb is predicting a massive growth spurt for Solana in the near future. In an X post, the expert says the Solana price can achieve a valuation of $2,000 given its impressive network metrics.
He hinges his projection on several factors, including Ethereum’s previous price performance. Ethereum price spiked to a $600 billion market capitalization during the last cycle with its steep fees and scalability issues.
A $2K SOL price will translate to a $1 trillion market capitalization that will see it flip Ethereum as the largest altcoin. CryptoCurb notes that if Ethereum can post impressive figures during the last cycle, Solana has the capabilities to be valued at $2,000.
“2K is absolutely realistic if Solana keeps its global adoption pace with minimal disruptions and continues to scale,” said CryptoCurb.
Rising network inflows are expected to send the Solana price on a short-term rally to $150 before a big push to $2K. Currently, the Solana price is pegged at $140 with a market capitalization of $72.6 billion, making CryptoCurb’s prediction an uphill climb.
A Wave Of Impressive Metrics Around SOL
While CryptoCurb did not disclose an exact timeline for his $2,000 prediction, he points to a short-term seismic price increase. The expert his backing his predictions with a swathe of network metrics pointing to fresh bullishness.
Solana has the highest number of active addresses over the last seven days at 28.4 million. The network led the pack for transactions at 369 million, trouncing Tron, BNB Chain, Base, and Bitcoin.
Solana is finding application in several Web 3 verticals given its speed, low cost, and scalability. In the last week, the Solana price has risen by nearly 7% while 24-hour trade volume has risen by 36%.
Last week, Canada launched the first SOL ETF with prices projected to surpass $250, reversing a forming death cross. Solana open interest crossed 5.5 billion, climbing by 10% amid rising whale activity in the ecosystem.
Rising bullish metrics for the network suggest that SOL will reach $200 before ETH reclaims $3,000.
